Definitively over the hill, but still nice to drink. Brick color, dried fruits, some elegance on the palate, but very short and dry aftertaste. Probably 5 years post summit.

Dark hue. Nice bouquet of anise, sour cherries, herbs and leather. Somewhat lean on the palate, with just barely enough fruit to stand up against the dryness. A bit short. Drink up.

Color: Suprisingly young, clear no bricky rim. Nose: Rather thin, little green, hint of fruits but maybe less than expected. Palate: Clean start, somewhat thin in the middle, quite long aftertaste but lacks fruit and finesse. Over the hill, drinkable, but it would have been better 5 to 7 years ago.
